Hi guys, after upgrading the firmware from 19.1.3 to 19.1.4, subsequent attempts to check against a repository mirror, returns a banner message in GUI "Could not find the repository on the selected mirror."

Changing the "Firmware Mirror" to other mirrors on the list has no effect.

Please advise how this can be mitigated.

Thank you.

I got similar errors, and updating from console just gave me stuff like:
Fetching change log information, please wait... fetch: https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/19.1/sets/changelog.txz.sig: No route to host

...even though I could do this:
root@OPNsense:~ # ping pkg.opnsense.org
PING pkg.opnsense.org (212.32.245.132): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 212.32.245.132: icmp_seq=0 ttl=47 time=270.799 ms

So I tried:
root@OPNsense:~ # curl https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/19.1/sets/changelog.txz.sig
curl: (7) Failed to connect to pkg.opnsense.org port 443: Connection refused


...and figured whatever the problem was, it likely was at the pkg.opnsense.org end.  Could not remember how to change mirrors from console, so went to the GUI, set it to the same mirror I'd just downloaded the 19.1 installer from "LeaseWeb (HTTP, San Fransisco, US)", and clicked the "Check for updates" button.  That worked, and I'm downloading updates right now.

Short outage of pkg.opnsense.org this morning. All back to normal now. :)


Cheers,
